Scar Treatment
Surgical procedures, burns, and traumatic injuries may result in permanent and noticeable scars on the skin. In some cases, scars do not only cause aesthetic concerns but may also lead to functional limitations, particularly when located near joints and affecting movement.
Although scars cannot usually be completely eliminated, their appearance can be significantly improved with appropriate treatment methods. In addition, skin quality can be enhanced and functional problems can often be reduced.
Non-Surgical Scar Treatment Options
Depending on the type, location, age of the scar, and the patient’s skin characteristics, various non-surgical treatment methods may be used, including:
• Microneedling (Dermapen) treatments
• Stem cell–supported therapies
• Steroid injections (especially for raised or keloid scars)
• Exosome treatments
• Microdermabrasion
These approaches aim to soften scar tissue, improve skin texture, reduce discoloration, and help the scar blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Surgical Scar Treatment
In selected cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. Surgical scar treatment may involve:
• Changing the direction of the scar
• Removing the scar and closing the area in a more aesthetic manner
• Reducing movement restriction caused by scars located near joints
Surgical scar correction is often planned in combination with supportive regenerative treatments to optimize results.
Factors Affecting Treatment Outcomes
The success of scar treatment depends on several factors, including:
• The patient’s genetic predisposition
• The extent of the surgery or trauma that caused the scar
• The location and age of the scar
• Nutritional status
• The treatment method applied
• Post-treatment care and patient compliance
In recent years, exosome therapy has increasingly been used after surgical scar treatments to help reduce the risk of recurrence and support tissue regeneration.
Depending on the scar’s characteristics and location, fat grafting and stem cell therapies may also be incorporated into the treatment plan to further improve scar appearance and overall skin quality.
